Spring 2020

After 12 wonderful years of off-roading and exploring in a built-up 2007 4Runner, I put it up for sale in August 2019. The day after I posted the ad on social media, a couple arrived with cash. 

Oh, times are changing. I remember a few years ago when I was camping in my roof top tent in the backcountry of Colorado. A gentleman walked past my campsite, and his curiosity took over. 

Last fall, my fiancé, Karen, and I traveled to a country I have been wanting to visit for a dozen years. The Himalayan country that proudly measures the Gross National Happiness, instead of the Gross National Product.

The days often blurred together after we left Squaw Valley Ski Resort—most likely, we lost track after leaving Salina, Utah on our trek to the famed site of the 1960 Winter Olympics.
